Die Chefin

The traumatized Diana Schirmer is a witness in the burglary and robbery case in which her husband Uwe died. During the police confrontation, she identifies Frank Jensch as the perpetrator, who is then taken away. The evidence against him is thin, but Diana Schirmer's testimony may be enough for a conviction. But then another fatal burglary happens, following the same pattern. Isn't Frank the culprit after all? Did he have an accomplice? When Vera suddenly discovers that Diana herself had a motive for her husband's murder, the chief inspector has to doubt the credibility of the witness. In addition to the investigation, Vera Lanz has to fight for her own credibility.
The death of multiple murderer Christian Farron, whom the chief inspector claims to have shot in self-defense, is being investigated by internal investigator Dominik Schneider. Vera Lanz and her colleagues Jan Trompeter and Paul Böhmer as well as senior public prosecutor Dr. Seitz have to take a stand. Four episodes of "Die Chefin" will be broadcast on Fridays at 8:15 p.m.

A corpse dug up by wild boar is found by a hunter in the Forstenrieder forest. The dead man is identified as Simon Sobotka, a skipper and drug dealer who was receiving medical treatment for a brain hemorrhage and was living on a cabin boat on Lake Starnberg. In addition to the friendly boatyard owner Heinkel, the victim seems to have had little social contact, but then Vera Lanz encounters a reference to a former patient at the clinic, who is said to have known Sobotka well. It is Hannah Eichner, the sister of the medical examiner Dr. Heike Steinbeck. Hannah is being treated for an accidental emotional amnesia that is affecting her and her family greatly. She does not remember her husband Ulf or their two children. It all points to
A difficult situation for Vera Lanz and her friend Steinbeck, who wants to protect her sister and her family, while Hannah becomes Vera's suspect. This also includes Hannah's father-in-law Lambert, her husband Ulf and their 16-year-old son Marlon, but also Heinkel, who stole the money from Sobotka's drug deals after Sobotka's disappearance. When Heike finally discovers her sister's DNA from hair samples on the corpse, she decides to withhold this evidence. When Vera finds out, their friendship is put to the test. 

The kidnapped Moritz Helmes, son of a wealthy real estate agent, is found murdered. Apparently, Moritz' father Christian Helmes was to be blackmailed, but then the boy managed to escape. The tracks lead chief inspector Lanz to Munich's red light district, with which her colleague Paul Böhmer maintains close contact. Böhmer has a particularly close and intimate relationship with the prostitute Johanna. Johanna asks him to take care of the young prostitute Tereza, who seems to be involved in an illegal matter - without informing his colleagues. As it turns out, the submerged Tereza is the last to see Moritz alive.
While Böhmer becomes increasingly entangled in a conflict of loyalties – observed suspiciously by his boss – Vera Lanz not only discovers the kidnappers, but also a connection between Christian Helmes and Tereza. This leads the commissioners to a murder case that was covered up a few years ago. When Johanna then disappears without a trace and Böhmer finally finds her dead, Vera has a lot to do to protect her colleague from making a big mistake.

In the last episode of the season, Vera Lanz first has to deal with a bank robbery and a dead bank robber. Questions about the course of action arise early on, since the amount of money stolen appears to be very small. Much to Vera's displeasure, her opponent, senior public prosecutor Dr. Seitz got involved in the investigation. But then the inspectors received the news that Seitz's wife had been found dead. Seitz is a suspect and "The Boss" is to investigate and prove his innocence. In the survey of Seitz' ex-girlfriend Ulrike Laske, she confirmed his strong willingness to use violence, which is why she ended the relationship at the time. Seitz is coming under more and more pressure, which Vera doesn't exactly dislike. However, in the Maike Seitz case, she believes in the innocence of the chief public prosecutor.
Evidence soon emerges that the two cases are connected and that the bank robbery was targeted money laundering, of which Seitz was aware. But Vera Lanz and her team lack the evidence. Still. Last episode of the current season. From Friday, May 3, 2013, four new episodes of the series "Der Kriminalist" will be broadcast.
